I popped in and had a look at this machine mainly to see how noisey it may be, but tbh its not to bad, you can hear the fans but not really any louder than my old desktop and it will be in my office space so I dont think it will be a problem.

They clicked through a few things while I was there and I noticed that at the moment its loaded with 32 bit vista but it will come with 64bit business edition but its WEI is 5.8 which I thought was pretty good, maybe I wouldnt need to change the gfx card afterall??

One thing that Im not sure about is the monitor that comes with it is a 19" tft with normal aspect ratio 4:3, now I can have this machine as just the base unit or have it with the monitor but Im not sure wether Id be better off getting a 16:9 monitor instead, what are the pros and cons of either as far as gaming is concerned. How would the different aspect ratio effect something like sh3??

Thanks in advance Bert.
